Now I'm puzzled. Line 3 of the your pastebin post of the output from the
ls shows ownership by root of a file *prior* to a recursive chown for boztu.
Maybe that'll make sense when I've had some sleep before that makes
sense.... I'm also unfamiliar with gnome automount (or it's vfs) and a
quick guess says your system if mounting that drive as root (and I don't
know where to change that).
Still doesn't explain root's ownership of file that predates a time when
boztu should have owned everything on that drive.
I've got a feeling I'm missing something obvious here...
Are you boztu?
Does only boztu and root write to that disk?
Are they the only users that read that disk?
Is that how it's always been (with that disk)?
Please try:-
$ sudo chown -R boztu:boztu /media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459/
Post any errors and the output of:-
$ mount | grep 8eef3b99

Thank you.

If I don't see a [SOLVED] post in the morning I'll get back to it then.
Cheers
